Something sultry whispers sweetly
Across the winds that gently coo,
The most symphonious of love songs
That this heartbeat never knew.
A moment last a lifetime,
Each caress encased in bliss,
Tantalized by loving eyes
Yet lost in every kiss.
Time seems frozen solid
But the hour glass runs quick,
At home inside a perfect smile
Were the bonds of lovers writ.
And so I play this melody
Upon these heart strings bare,
And lie within a harmony
I never dreamed was there.

Oh how I love to find good rhyme, and this has such a soft feel to it... meloncholy perhaps is more accurate but it is so gentle and delicate.
So glad I found this.... sad but beautiful to read.
